Duran AT, et al. - Among 149 patients with acute coronary syndrome, researchers focused on patterns of sedentary time as well as their correlates over the first month after discharge, a critical period when lifestyle behaviors are formed. For 28 days following discharge, they assessed sedentary time using accelerometry. Findings revealed the accrual of high volumes of sedentary time by survivors of acute coronary syndrome during this time period. Over time, little change was seen in most cases. They found 3 distinct sedentary patterns: high (20.6% of participants), moderate (47.9%), and low (31.5%). An increased probability of being in the high sedentary group was observed in relation to non-Hispanic ethnicity, left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%, lower physical health–related quality of life, and not having a partner. It may be justifiable to implement interventions targeting reductions in sedentary time in such a population, especially in those with poor physical health and greater disease severity.
